'  URING  the  second  decade  of  the  XVIth  century,  within 
the  swart  wilderness  of  equatorial  America,  if  the  chron- 
icles of  the  day  are  to  be  depended  upon,  Cortez,  Pizarro, 
Valdivia  and  Quesada  instituted  a  period  of  exploration 
such  as  had  never  betore  been  seen,  nor  since  witnessed. 
After  the  exploitation  of  Nicarag^ua,  Guatemala,  Yuca- 
tan, New  G>lombia  and  Bolivia,  the  subjection  of  well-nigh  all  of  Latin 
America  comprised  withinthe  torrid  zone  was  at  last  accomplished  by 
the  valorous,  if  too  blood  thirsty,  legfions  of  agfgressive  Spain. 

Illiected  by  the  spirit  of  adventure  then  rampant  and  flushed 
with  his  conquests  in  Peru,  Ferdinand  de  Soto,  the  wealthy  gfovemor  of 
Cuba,  grazed  possessing:ly  across  the  heaving  wastes  of  the  Atlantic  and 
allowed  his  imagination  to  run  riot  over  the  untraversed  region  watered 
by  the  mysterious  flood  of  the  Mississippi.  On  the  northern  littoral  of

a  reputed  volume  far  in  excess  of  that  of  either  Amazon  or  Orinoco,  presented  a  strangely  fascin- 
atmg:  field  for  investigation.  There  was  nothing,  therefore,  surprising  in  the  fact  that  in  1542  De 
Soto,  mf lamed  by  the  gilded  gossip  of  the  times,  landed  an  armed  force  on  the  coast  of  Florida  and, 
undaunted,  struck  out  boldly  for  the  unknown  wilds  of  the  interior. 

Conlronted  by  impenetrable  thicket  and  bottomless  morass,  tumultuous  rivers  and  by 
hosts  of  painted  savages,  he  fought  his  way  with  sword  and  fagot  until,  at  Guachoya,  on  the  reedy 
banks  of  the  never  diminishing  stream,  above  its  confluence  with  tht  Arkansas,  almost  a  thousand 
navigable  niiles  from  its  empty inof  place,  he  yielded  his  life,  a  sacrifice  to  his  love  for  conquest  and 
tor  greed.  With  the  exception  of  the  return  expedition  led  by  Muscoso  in  J  543,  the  survivor  of 
ir  M  *e'  ?  ^*^*  "^^^^  brigantines  to  convey  his  322  followers  "down  the  great  river  to  the 
gulf,  Spanish  exploitation  of  the  Father  of  Waters  ceased,  and  the  old  black  curtain  of  impenetra- 
bility partially  lifted  and  but  for  a  moment,  again  fell  and  hid  from  the  eyes  of  amazed  cupidity 
the  beckoning  interior. 

vlm^^*^^*^*^"^"^^  *^  abandonment  of  the  lower  valley  of  the  Mississippi,  the  advent  of 
the  XVIIth  century  gave  a  new  stimulus  and  from  another  quarter  to  American  exploration. 
Contemporary  with  the  founding  of  Quebec  by  Champlain,  in  1608,  was  the  establishment  of  the 
order  of  the  Recollect  Friars  and  the  ascent  of  the  Ottawa  river,  and  in  1616,  the  transit  of  Lake 
Huron  by  the  priestly  adventurer,  Le  Caron,  a  Franciscan  monk.  While  this  unlocking  of  the 
Northwest  and  the  proselytizing  of  the  Redskin  was  checked  by  the  conquest  of  Canada  by  the 
English  in  1629,  the  interruption  was  brief,  for  in  1632  Brebeuf  and  Daniel  explored  the  Saguenay 
—carried  the  flag  of  civilization  from  the  buttresses  of  Quebec  to  the  bleak  beaches  of  far  Ungava, 
and  on  the  um^ageous  shores  of  Lake  Iroquois  established  the  village  of  St.  Ignatius.  Five  years 
before  Elliot  of  New  England  had  addressed  one  word  of  pious  exhortation  to  the  Indians  camped 
withm  six  niiles  of  Boston  harbor,  Jogues  and  Raymbaut  had  planted  the  cross  at  the  foot  of  Lake 
Superior  and  preached  the  gospel  of  salvation  within  the  smoky  lodges  of  the  implacable  Sioux.

jbarlv  in  1634  Sieur  Jean  Nicolet,  a  geographical  reformer  who  expected  to  find  the  China 
Sea  in  Green  Bay,  captained  a  pacific  expedition  beyond  the  western  limits  of  the  Algonquin  race 
into  the  heart  of  Winnebago-land.  He  camped  at  the  palisaded  town  of  Mascoutins,  and  was  the 
first  white  explorer  to  penetrate  northwest  oi  the  Ohio  and  reach  the  Wisconsin  river.  Upon  the 
outbreak  of  the  Iroquois  war  in  1650  the  snow  in  the  forests  of  Canada  was  crimson  with  the  blood 
of  the  missionaries,  and  for  the  next  ten  years  priest  and  proselyte,  explorer  and  coureur  de  bois 
awaited  with  folded  arms  the  proclamation  of  peace.  During  }660  the  Jesuit  Father  Rene  Mes- 
nard,  accompanied  by  Radisson  and  Groseilliers,  a  brace  of  dare-devil  fur  traders,  discovered  the 
Pictured  Rocks,  the  copper  mines  at  Keeweenaw  and  camped  on  Chequamegon  Bay  (Ashland, 
Wisconsin).  But  the  too-trusting  Mesnard  was  soon  tomahawked  by  the  savages  amid  the  tene- 
brous wilds  of  the  Menominee.  In  1665  Father  Qaude  Allouez,  whose  name  is  imperishably 
connected  with  the  discoveries  in  the  Northwest,  assumed  control  and  the  arches  of  the  woods 
again  awoke  to  the  white  man's  homilies  delivered  in  the  Tartar  tongue. 

I  he  close  of  1668  still  found  Allouez  wearing  the  winter  out  preaching  to  tolerant  Potta- 
wattomie  and  surly  Kickapoo  and  overthrowing  the  pagan  idols  at  the  Kahkalin  rapids  on  the  Fox, 
when  Father  Jacques  Marquette,  a  youthful  priest  from  Sault  Ste  Marie,  unexpectedly  arrived  upon 
the  scene.  The  conflicting  reports  of  priest  and  trapper  as  to  the  possibilities  of  this  terra,  well- 
nigh  incognita,  had  aroused  the  curiosity  of  prelate  and  cupidity  of  layman  at  Quebec;  for  the 
mystery  that  surrounded  these  western  solitudes  was  regarded  as  a  scientific  imposition.  Thus  it 
came  about  that  Qaudius  Dablon,  Superior  Generale  of  the  missions  of  the  Society  of  Jesus,  was 
ordered  to  the  Sault  in  1668  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  in  more  ways  than  one  the  everlasting 
truth.  The  narratives  of  Father  Dablrn  and  his  missionaries,  "The  Relations  of  1670-71-72,'' 
were  subsequently  published  in  Paris,  together  with  a  map  of  Lake  Superior,  and  these  with  the 
unprinted  "Relations  of  1672-3  and  1673-9,''  now  form  the  most  valuable  collection  extant  of  the 
early  history  and  topography  of  the  primeval  west.

waxed  enthusiastic,  and  November  2d,  i672,  instructed  the  Sieur  Louis  Joliet,  a  fur-trader  of 
Quebec  and  quondam  Jesuit  priest— "a  man  of  great  experience  in  this  kind  of  exploration  "—to 
"  discover  the  South  Sea  by  the  Maskoutens  country  and  the  great  river  Mississippi,  whicS  is  be- 
lieved to  empty  into  the  California  Sea,"  The  choice  of  a  missionary  to  accompany  the  -»Iorer 
lay  between  Claude  Allouez  and  Jacques  Marquette.  The  joy  of  the  latter  may  be  iuiagined 
when  on  the  festival  of  the  Immaculate  Conception  he  received  a  letter  bidding  him  prepare  for 
the  expedition. 

May  1 7th,  1673,  Marquette  and  Joliet  embarked  on  their  historic  enterprise  in  two  birch 
canoes  with  five  Miami  Indians  by  way  of  the  Bay  of  Fetid  (Green  Bay).  The  former  an  envoy 
of  Christendom,  clothed  in  the  coarse  habit  of  his  order,  and  presenting  with  his  humble  followers 
a  marked  contrast  to  the  mail-clad  conquistadores  of  the  militant  De  Soto.  Not  animated  with 
the  spirit  of  greed  backed  by  fire  and  fagot,  but  ambassadors  of  peace  **  firmly  resolved  to  do  all 
and  suffer  all  for  so  glorious  an  enterprise,"  and  promising,  writes  Marquette,  "  that  if  under  the 
protection  of  the  Blessed  Virgin  Immaculate  they  should  discover  the  great  river,  he  would  give 
that  name  to  the  first  mission  he  should  establish  among  the  new  nation."  Crossing  Lake  Winne- 
bago (Oshkosh)  they  ascended  the  Fox  river  June  7th,  portaging  to  the  headwaters  of  the  Wisconsin 
at  Mascoutens.  Here,  with  two  Miami  guides,  they  re-launched  their  canoes  on  the  broader  courses 
of  the  vine-clad  stream  on  the  iOth,  prepared  "to  follow  those  waters  which  would  henceforth  lead 
them  into  strange  lands." 

"Launched  their  birch  canoes  for  sailing} 
Shoved  them  forth  into  the  water; 
Whispering  to  them, '  Westward !  Westward  I'" 

.  ^^SCending  the  Wisconsin,  past  swaying  forest  and  waving  beds  of  rice,  they  attained  the 
limit  of  all  previous  discoveries  and  gazed  in  awe  upon  the  wondrous  vista  of  a  new  world  that  lay 
spread  before  them.      For  seven  days,  uninterrupted  by  man,  they  exploited  an  unspeakably

beautiful  wilderness— the  land  of  the  bison  and  the  moose  (the  bezhiki  and  ahtik)— untiljune  J 7th, 
when,  on  rounding  a  promontory,  their  canoes,  ere  they  well  realized  it,  were  rocking  on  the 
turgid  bosom  of  the  still  greater  river— the  Father  of  Waters,  "that  stretched  in  glistenini?  majesty 
tor  countless  miles  towards  an  unknown  sea."  &       >      7 

To  give  in  detail  the  itinerary  of  these  two  courageous  adventurers  would  fill  a  pentateuch. 
Ihe  scant  limits  of  these  pages  permit  but  the  briefest  summary  of  their  accomplishments.  On  the 
25th  of  June,  when  nearing  the  40th  degree  of  north  latitude,  they  saw  footsteps  on  the  river  bank. 
Disembarking,  Marquette  and  Joliet  followed  the  trail  through  the  forest.  Suddenly  three  Indian 
villages  burst  upon  their  sight.  Priest  and  trader  halloaed  with  all  their  strength,  when  four  old 
braves  advanced,  two  bearing  red  calumets -pipes  of  peace— adorned  with  feathers  of  the  white 
eagle  and  other  plumes.  "Who  are  you?"  asked  Marquette;  "We  are  Ilinois "— ' The  Men'— 
they  answered;  and  in  token  of  friendship,"  says  Marquette,  "  presented  us  their  pipes  to  smoke." 
Conducted  to  the  residence  of  the  great  Sachem,  the  travellers  were  assured  that  "  they  should  enter 
all  the  cabins  of  the  tribe  in  peace.^  After  "feasting  on  sagamity  and  dog-meat,"  and  being  warned

Akamsea,  not  far  from  the  villagfe  of  Guachoya,  where,  131  years  before,  De  Soto's  rude  sepulture 
had  taken  place.  Here  they  encountered  a  tribe  of  naked  savag^es,  whose  "  only  trade  was  wild 
cattle,  who  spoke  a  Mexican  dialect,  claimed  descent  from  the  Aztecs,  and  had  never  seen  snow/ 

jollyet  and  I,"  writes  Marquette,  '^ held  a  council  as  to  what  we  should  do;  whether  push 
on  in  the  face  of  certain  capture  by  hostile  tribes,  with  loss  of  valuable  records,  or  rest  satisfied  with 
the  discoveries  already  made."  These  **  sufficient  reasons  induced  them  to  return."  They  re-em- 
barked at  Akamsea  July  7th,  but  the  labor  of  stemming;  the  boisterous  currents  of  the  Mississippi 
drove  them  to  the  more  placid  waters  of  the  Illinois,  when,  without  further  misadventure,  by  way 
of  Kaskaskia  and  the  Chicago  river  they  reached  Winnebago  the  end  of  September ;  having  pa  si- 
dled in  all  over  2767  miles  through  solitudes  hitherto  undisturWd  by  the  ''pale-face." 

IVIarailCttt.'  s  constitution  proved  unequal  to  the  exposures  incident  to  the  journey.  Whilst 
Joliet  was  hurrying  to  Quebec  with  the  written  story  of  their  adventures — which  he  lost  in  the 
rapids  of  the  St.  Lawrence — his  priestly  companion,  worn  out  with  disease,  was  compelled  to  spend 
the  ensuing  summer  at  St.  Francis  Xavier  (Baie  de  Puant),  but  receiving  instructions  to  re-visit  the 
Illini,  he  embarked  upon  a  second  expedition  October  25th,  1674.  By  the  end  of  November  biting 
frosts  and  blinding  snow-storms  invited  a  return  of  his  malady,  and  when  on  December  4th  the 
Chicago  river  became  frozen,  and  his  Indian  allies  deserted  him,  too  ill  tc  proceed,  he  ''  passed  two 
leagues  up  the  river,  resolved  to  winter  there,"  where  he  was  nursed  by  some  French  traders  and 
friendly  Miamis.  On  the  unlocking  of  the  streams  he  made  another  gallant  attempt,  March  29th, 
to  reach  the  village  of  Kaskaskia.  In  spite  of  his  physical  afflictions  he  landed  there  on  Good 
Friday,  April  8th,  receiving  a  royal  welcome  from  the  500  chiefs  and  1500  young  men  assembled  to 
greet  him.  To  this  multitude  **  he  preached  a  crucified  Christ  took  possession  of  the  land  in  His 
name,"  and  having  accomplished  the  objects  of  his  journey  the  establishment  of  an  Illini  mission 
— and  realizing  that  he  was  near  his  end,  he  departed  hurriedly  on  the  homeward  journey  for 
Mackinaw,  escorted  to  Lake  Michigan  by  a  body-guard  of  loyal  iCaskaskias.

Arriving'  at  St.  Joseph,  on  the  east  shore  of  Michigan,  he  grew  rapidly  weaker,  and  while 
his  simple  companions  were  prostrated  with  grief,  he  caunly  instructed  them  how  to  commit  his 
body  to  the  earth.  Passing  the  mouth  of  a  small  stream — which  for  some  time  after  bore  his  name 
— he  pointed  to  a  wooded  eminence  as  the  place  for  his  burial.  Here  the  canoemen  landed,  erected 
a  bark  cabin,  and  with  savage  tenderness  made  such  provision  for  the  dyine  missionary  as  the  rude 
facilities  permitted.  **  In  the  darkling  wood,"  writes  his  biographer, ''  amid  the  cool  and  silence  the 
priest  knelt  down,  and  offered  to  the  M'ghtiest  solemn  thanks  and  supplication.''  Having  con- 
fessed his  followers,  on  the  18th  of  May,  1675,  he  pronounced  in  a  firm  voice  his  profession  of  faith, 
thanked  the  Almighty  for  permitting  him  to  aie  as  a  Jesuit,  a  missionary  and  alone,  and  with 
glazed  eyes  raised  heavenwards  **  passed  without  a  struggle  from  the  scene  of  his  labors  to  that 
God  who  was  to  be  his  reward.''  ''To  die  as  he  had  always  asked,"  says  Father  Claudius  Dablon, 
**  in  a  wretched  cabin  amid  the  forest  destitute  of  all  human  aid." 

I  llUS  expired  Father  James  Marquette,  missionary  and  explorer,  of  the  Province  of  Cham- 
pagne, at  the  age  of  38  years,  nine  of  which  he  had  consecrated  to  the  conversion  of  pagan  Indians 
in  forests  **  where  the  name  of  Jesus  had  never  been  announced,"  and  with  all  the  zeal  of  a  man 
who  had  taken  St.  Francis  Xavier  as  the  pattern  of  his  life. 

Under  the  fleeting  shadows  of  the  voiceless  pines  Marquette's  remains  rested  undisturbed  for 
two  years.  Then,  almost  on  the  very  anniversary  of  his  death,  some  of  his  own  flock,  the  Kiska- 
kous,  returning  from  a  hunt,  halted  and  made  obeisance  before  the  rude  cross  that  marked  his 
burying  place,  resolved  ''to  disinter  their  father  and  bear  his  revered  bones  to  the  mission."  The 
remains  were  placed  in  a  box  of  birch-bark — a  most  humble  casket — and  the  hunting  squadron 
became  a  funeral  cortege.  As  the  weird  procession  with  splashless  paddles  wound  its  silent  way 
northwards  it  was  joined  by  a  party  of  Iroquois  Indians  and,  nearing  Mackinaw,  by  the  two  resident 
missionaries.  Then  the  cold  blue  waters  of  Michigan  and  the  sombre  forests  awoke  to  "the 
solemn  intonation  of  the  De  Profundis,"  while  the  body  was  borne  to  the  little  Church  of  St.  Ignace,

^/  ERE  MARQUETTE,  if  the  statements  of  his  biographers  can  be  accepted,  was  not  only 
an  explorer  but  a  man  of  prescience.  In  view  of  this  fact  it  requires  little  tax  of  the 
imagination  to  cast  a  retrospect  and  picture  the  missionary  while  wintering  in  his  rude 
cabin  on  the  banks  of  the  Chicago  river  casting — in  his  turn — a  horoscope,  and  ser- 
monizing, to  the  amazement  of  his  Pottawatomie  converts,  upon  the  magical  changes 
in  local  conditions  that  the  future  centuries  would  bring.  It  is  safe  to  hazard  that  he 
prophecied  the  day  when  the  frail  birch-bark  would  make  way  for  the  monster  escotai  chemahn — 
''fire  canoe '^—bearing  vast  cargoes  from  old  France,  by  way  of  the  St.  Lawrence  and  the  great 
lakes,  and  without  breaking  bulk,  down  artificial  inland  waterways  in  the  descent  of  the  Father  of 
Waters  to  the  sea*  It  is  not  unreasonable  to  assume  that  he  also  saw,  perhaps  as  **  through  a  glass 
darkly,''  the  passing  of  the  wigwams  of  the  Miamis  and  the  log  shacks  of  the  coureurs-c&s-bois  on 
the  tiver's  marshy  banks,  and  of  the  Babelesque  structures  of  stone  and  steel— beehives  of  the 
industry  of  a  polyglot  people,  before  which  the  marts  of  the  older  world  might  easily  pale.  Not- 
withstanding the  quality  of  Marquette's  prophetic  gift,  it  is  doubtful  if  in  his  wildest  flights  of 
fancy  he  conceived  of  a  structure  such  as  that  which  bears  his  name — a  legacy  of  his  achievements 
— and  which  stands  today  a  permanent  **  arrangement"  in  terra-cotta,  opposite  the  site  of  the  new 
postoffice,  on  the  northwest  corner  of  Adams  and  Dearborn  streets— a  pivotal  business  point  in  the 
heart  of  the  hurly-burly  of  irrepressible  Chicago. 

**  The  MARQUETTE  "  is  without  doubt  one  of  the  best  and  most  typical  of  the  modern  office 
buildings  in  this  country.  With  its  classical  lines  and  seal  brown  exterior  it  is  distinctly  distinguish- 
able from  its  many  and  less  inrposing  neighbors  in  *' Dearborn  Street  Cafion."  Its  16  stories  tower 
skywards  210  feet  above  grade,  and  from  its  broad  gravelled  top,  crowning  its  ten-foot  attic,  the 
inquisitive  visitor  can  obtain  a  wonderful  birds-eye  view — governed  by  the  way  the  wind  blows^  of

MARQUETTE  BUILDING- DEARBORN  STREET  ENTRANCE 


Chicago's  leagues  of  roofs  and  thoroughfares,  and  of  the  prismatic  vastness  of  lawless  Lake  Mich-

extends  back  Ht  ft.  along  the  I6-ft.  alley  at  the  north.  The  area  of  the  lot  is  24,190  sq.  ft.,  all 
utilized  by  the  building.  Above  the  1st  story  it  is  **  U  "  shaped,  with  a  short "  L"  projecting  into  the 
court.  This  interior  court  is  66x68  feet,  and  at  the  line  of  the  second  floor  in  its  base  is  a  large 
skylight.  The  walls  of  this  court  are  faced  with  white  enamelled  brick,  easily  cleaned,  and  insuring 
additional  light  to  all  offices  facing  courtwards.  For  88  feet  along  the  alley  side  the  building  is  set 
back  t2  feet  from  the  lot  line* 

Th£  *'^*  °*  *^^  building  from  2d  to  7th  floors,  inclusive,  is  18,980  sq.  ft.;  of  this  5,210  sq.  ft.

All  columns,  exterior  and  those  built  into  the  party  wall  are  surrounded  by  porous  terra-cotta,  which 
in  turn  is  covered  with  a  heavy  coat  of  cement  plaster,  thus  insuring  the  highest  degree  of  protec- 
tion from  fire— either  from  within  or  without.  Mineral  paint,  which  forms  an  armor  coat  when 
dry,  prevents  deterioration  of  the  steel.  The  exterior  is  of  seal  brown  pressed  brick  and  terra-cotta. 
The  first  story — entrance  excepted— the  attic  cornice  and  sill  courses  being  all  of  the  same  rich 
material  and  highly  ornamented.  The  supporting  piers  of  the  exterior  are  alx>ut  23  ft.  apart,  a  most 
practicable  unit  for  sub-division,  giving  about  11  ft.  clear  for  each  private  office.  The  general  style 
of  the  exterior  is  Italian  Renaissance.  The  Dearborn  street  entrance,  which  is  generously  ample, 
extends  upwards  to  the  second  tloor  line,  the  architrave  being  supported  by  three  handsome  Ionic

MARQUETTE  BUILDING-NORTH  END    DEARBORN  STRTET 


by  Mr.  Herman  A.  MacNeil,  a  faithful  student  of  Indian  characteristics,  illustrating  incidents  in 
the  life  and  of  the  death  of  Pere  Marquette.  The  floors  of  the  first  and  second  stories  are  cream- 
colored  fields  of  ceramic  mosaic,  with  borders  in  design,  of  black  and  dark  green  tesserae.  Over 
each  elevator  door  on  the  first  and  second  floors,  are  portraits  modeled  by  Mr.  Edward  Kemeys  in 
antique  statuary  bronze,  of  prominent  officials  of  Noveau  France,  noted  Indian  sachems  and  of 
the  early  explorers  of  the  great  Northwest  and  the  Mississippi  valley. 

Th^  f^^"^  wishing  to  reduce  the  commercial  appearance  of  the  entrance,  while  increasing 
its  artiSffc  tff  ;ct,  sacrificed  a  large  space  in  the  center  of  the  building  for  the  purpose  of  a  memorial 
rotunda  in  honor  of  Marquette.  After  much  outlay  of  time  and  money,  how  well  they  succeeded, 
with  the  help  of  artist,  sculptor,  architect  and  constructor,  in  producing  a  monument  worthy  of  the 
explorer  and  all  concerned  is  best  demonstrated  to  those  who  have  not  beheld  its  architectural  and 
artistic  completeness  by  the  illustrations  that  embellish  these  pages.  On  the  right  and  left,  as  one 
enters  from  Dearborn  street,  broad  lined  white  marble  stairways  lead  to  the  2d,  or  "banking  floor," 
the  marble  of  these,  as  of  the  panels  covering  the  walls,  of  ceiling  panels  and  of  the  beams  of  the 
1st  story  are  all  of  statuary  Carrara  marble.  This  rotunda  is  admittedly  without  a  parallel  in  any 
business  building  in  the  United  States.  Polygonal  in  outline,  entrance  and  vestibule  occupy  the 
eastern  central  portion,  while  the  semi-circular  battery  of  elevators  fill  the  western,  back  of  which 
are  broad  windows  and  a  spacious  court.  On  entering,  ones  attention  is  arrested  by  the  massive 
fluted  column  of  this  same  Carrara  marble,  which,  glistening  Uke  porphyry,  extends  from  the  floor 
Ime  to  the  2nd  story  ceiling,  through  the  well  hole,  where  it  supports  the  ceiling  beams— of  the 
same  marble -which  radiate  from  it  to  the  angles  of  the  polygon,  forming  panels,  in  which  the 
I  ittany  Glass  &  Decorating  Co.,  of  New  York,  have  inserted  some  of  their  finest  glass  mosaic 
work  from  designs  by  Mr.  J.  A.  HoUer.  The  panels  are  lighted  fcy  electricity,  mellowed  by 
ground  glass  globes  which  shed  over  the  whole  a  soft,  subdued  light,  revealing  and  enhancing  the 
artistic  jumble  of  the  delicate  tints.    These  panel  decorations  of  glass  mosaic  and  mother-of-pearl

three  pictorial  tablets  descriptive  of  leading  events  in  the  career  of  Marquette,  showing  also  the 
armour  and  weapons  of  the  period,  and  heads  of  Marquette  and  Joliet.

at  the  opalescent  ceiling  of  the  second  story,  at  the  satin  gloss  of  the  marble  work,  the  deliciously 
delicate  tints  of  the  mosaic  balcony  pictures,  the  flashing  tapestries  of  glass  and  the  contrasting 
bronzes  of  Indian  heads  is  a  thrilling  and  a  lasting  one.  i 

1  O  Mr.  Owen  F.  Aldis,  one  of  the  owners  of  the  structure,  who  has  made  a  translation  of 
Marquette  s  journal,  is  due  the  credit  for  the  original  christening  of  the  building.  It  was  he  also 
who  suggested  the  inscriptions  and  the  immortalizing  in  bronze  of  the  now  famous  men  con- 
nected with  the  discovery  of  the  Mississippi. 

I  he  architects  of  the  building  are  Messrs.  Holabird  &  Roche,  of  continental  reputation,  and 
the  constructors  the  Geo.  A.  Fuller  Company,  the  widely  known  contractors,  both  of  Chicago.

JOHN  B.  OROMMES     ^:^.. 
MICHAEL  ULLRICH      ^^ 


^HE  immense  wholesale  WINE,  LIQUOR  AND  CIGAR  business  of  Gronnnes  &  Ullrich  is  carried 
on  in  the  Marquette  Building  in  the  stores  at  the  corner  bounded  on  the  north  by  the  alley  and 
fronting  on  Dearborn  street.  The  general  and  private  offices  are  to  the  right  of  the  visitor  on  enter- 
ing. In  the  center  of  the  main  reception  and  salesroom  are  elaborate  show  stands  for  the  display 
of  bottled  goods;  to  the  left  is  the  cigar  department,  equipped  with  a  large  vault  specially  fitted  up 
with  all  the  latest  improvements  for  keeping  cigars  in  that  exquisite  condition  appreciated  and 
exacted  by  all  true  connoisseurs  of  "  the  weed."  The  design  of  the  interior  fittings,  which  are  of 
rich  red  mahogany,  is  in  harmony  with  the  character  of  the  building.  The  effect  of  the  magnificent  sample  cases, 
with  their  myriad  parti-colored  glass  flasks  and  bottles,  containing  some  of  the  rarest  and  costliest  liquids  of  the 
older  world,  and  which  flash  and  sparkle  in  the  changing  rays  of  light,  is  fairly  entrancing  and  spectacular — a 
picture  from  the  pages  of  Monte  Christo.  The  rear  of  the  store  is  occupied  by  the  shipping  and  receiving  depart- 
ments. Here  are  the  elevators  that  connect  with  the  cellar,  which  is  also  reached  by  an  iron  and  marble  stairway 
leading  from  trie  end  of  the  main  showcase  in  the  salesroom. 

The  entire  basement  of  the  Marquette,  aggregating  20,000  square  feet,  is  used  for  storage,  wine  cellars  and 
bottling  departments,  and  is  in  itself  a  wonderful  ensemble  of  the  finest  distillations  of  all  countries  which  pro- 
duce the  luscious  grape.  Wines  of  every  grade,  from  vin  ordinaire— ordinary  table  wine — to  the  highest  grade  of 
chateaux — bottling.  Wines  from  the  Rhine  and  the  Moselle,  from  the  Gironde  and  famous  Bourgogne,  from  the 
sun-kissed  hills  of  Italy,  the  vineyards  of  Spain  and  the  slopes  of  Portugal !  Liquors,  too,  of  all  kinds  from  the 
British  Isles,  from  France  and  Germany,  Norway,  Sweden  and  far-off  Russia.  In  plentiful  addition  to  these  the 
visitor  finds,  last  but  not  least,  the  genuine  and  palatable  domestic  Rye  and  Bourbon  whiskies  of  the  Maryland, 
Monongahela  and  Blue  Grass  regions,  of  endless  variety  and  age.  In  fact,  from  the  cellars  or  storage  rooms  of  this 
vast  establishment  the  man  of  simple  habits  as  well  as  the  bon  vivant  can  readily  make  a  selection  that  will  gratify 
his  especial  taste.  For  Clubs,  Hotels,  Barrooms  and  regular  family  trade  the  stock  to  select  from  is  une(^ualled. 
Messrs.  Gromnies  &  Ullrich  would  draw  the  especial  attention  of  consumers  to  the  fact  that  their  wine  cel- 
lars are  kept  at  an  even  temperature  the  year  round.  This  is  accomplished  by  ice  machines  fed  with  carbonic  acid 
gas  in  place  of  the  objectionable  ammonia  process  ordinarily  employed.
